Liverpool want to REPLACE Darwin Nunez with RECORD-BREAKING striker | OneFootball

How do you solve a problem like Darwin Nunez? The Liverpool striker has blown hot and cold throughout his time at Anfield and is yet to be fully trusted by Arne Slot, despite some good performances in recent weeks.

Nunez, while popular amongst Liverpool fans, can struggle to finish big chances when he has time to think with the ball at his feet.

Last season, Nunez missed more big chances in a single Premier League season than any other Liverpool player ever, with 38. He seems to lose his composure at the worst moments, which stops him from taking the next step to becoming a world-class striker.

The Reds’ recent 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Anfield is a prime example. Nunez opened the scoring with a difficult finish at high speed, after David Coote bizarrely waved away Mohamed Salah’s calls for a foul as he was brought down while clean through on goal.

It was a great finish, and showed how good Nunez can be when he’s relying on his instinct.

Later in the half, the Uruguayan had a chance to put Liverpool two goals ahead, but couldn’t convert what was a much easier chance on the break than the earlier one he scored.
